The vine is praisde, that daintie grape doth give
Although the fruite more please then holsome be,
Each fertil tree, is favord for the fruite,
So is the hearb that gallant is to see.
If this be trueth, he needes must merit well,
That gives us groundes to guide our erring wayes,
And trades us truely in the golden maze,
Where vertue growes, and courtlike manner stayes.
Galateo first did frame this golden booke
In Ital land. From thence it went to Spaine.
